How to make frozen brussel sprouts in the air fryer
Step 1: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Add the frozen whole brussel sprouts and spray with olive oil spray. Air fry for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
Step 2: Use kitchen scissors, or a knife with cutting board to cut the brussel sprouts in half. They should be soft enough to cut at this point.
While this step is optional, and I did leave a few whole, the ones that were cut in half tasted so much better. This allows you to get really yummy crispy texture on the edges which makes all the difference.
Step 3: Add the pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parmesan cheese to the cut up brussel sprouts. Stir to combine. Air fry an additional 10 – 20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes, until they reach your desired crispiness.
Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately, and top with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.
